This exhibition looks at the many different facets of forty years of social photography. With humility, Jean-Louis Courtinat has continually recorded the “tiny lives” of unimportant people – those who are rejected by society – those who are erased by death. Through this moving gallery of portraits, he shows us how remarkable the “most fragile” people are, and how much they have to teach us. These photographs raise profoundly human and relevant questions for our affluent societies.
